gecko (gek KO) and tokay (to- KAY). Another kind of gecko, with a different sound, is called chicak (CHEE

membrane clean with their tongues. Like most lizards, they can regenerate their tail if they need to.

On Saturday night, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people
had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes’ time. Fifteen minutes
passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and
waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shouted,”It’s two minutes past twelve! The clock has
stopped!”
